The Elite is out and seems readily available

Happy Elite release day! This is a fairly odd happening in the world of gaming: an updated console coming out around a year and a half after the first version. All consoles go through revisions, but hardware with more storage and added connection options?

They will do anything to keep the attention off the success of the 360 and the failure of the PS3. They will say and do anything because there in third and this is one highly competitive business. So get use to seeing a lot of this sh!t on N4G because Sony fans are out in troves to try and spin whatever they can, as if repeating the same thing over and over will help there monstrosity of a console. “360 has high failure rate don’t buy it” Hasn’t worked in over a year and a half and its not working now (people are still buying the 360 more than the PS3) Xbox’s real competition this round is Nintendo, Sony lost before coming out of the gate.

LoydX-mas Yeah I'm a lefty lol, not a far left tree hugger pacifist though. Republicans do support the second amendment and I agree with that.

"please prove me wrong ok" (10 million sold and 6 million gold live members as reported here on N4G months ago)<---Proof

edit: Wich one is more reliable? Nintendo even though you didn't offer the choice the Wii is more reliable than any next gen console. PS3s more reliable but it doesn't mean its better and more popular.

Now my question for you, which is a gaming console and which is a movie player?

This story is about a certain SKU of the 360 being available on it's launch day.

I love how you had to bring up the "reliability" issue though, proving that Sony fans cannot stay on topic and always fall back to the old standbys: "it always breaks, it doesn't have hd-dvd drive, the cell kicks ass, bla,bla,bla."

If the 360 was actually as unreliable as some people would want, why does it continually outsell the PS3 every month?

I feel kinda bad.. The stores down here only got 4 in stock.. And they all got bought.. :( It was kinda sad I didnt get to get one.. But now Im probably just going to get the HDD.. 180.. Halo 3 Saved games .. Comes to mind.

well for get you haters i love the elite.im glad MS brought sexy back in black and the extra space is a must and if you own an hdmi tv this is the system for you .PLZ BELIVE IT!!now if MS can give me back my xbla games i paid for so i can play them offline ..

You don't agree with #4? lol I vote(I) but Sony fans do seem Ann Culter-ish Sony boys Make Sean Hannity look like a tree hugging hippie when its comes Dissliking whom/what they dissagree with. I think the Elite i bought this morning its great! really dig the space and the going back to the roots so to speak with the paint job.

Random things to throw out: 1) How many times has it been said- Not many people need 120GB or HDMI. This was always supposed to be a console for only the most hardcore- of COURSE they're the only ones buying it. That's the whole idea. 2) Oh no, the console isn't selling out instantly after (11? more?) million units have been sold. Whoda thunkit? 3) It costs more, and adds zero functionality for 90+% of people. The Pro should remain the top-seller.

It's a great piece of hardware for those who need it. Personally, I have a half-dozen full TV shows, a dozen+ albums, two demos, tons of saves, lots of content, all Arcade games ever, lots of video clips... and I still have over 4GB free at last check on my 20GB drive. Even when you're at my level of fanaticism, the 120GB still isn't necessary.

More power to the people who've downloaded entire seasons of South Park in HD, I guess. Heh.

Wii is the only console thats selling to more than the hardcore part of the consumer base the more powerful consoles are not cheap enough for the bulk of the remaining Consumer base thats still buying 5th generation dime a dozon low end of the market consoles(PS2) and some (Xbox). What ever floats your boat.

Where has Bill Mhar/TheMart been. J/K... My bad #4.1

((((((kamisama)))))) you usually don't due this but, what!? WTF are you going off on you're in the wrong thead idiot!. lol

i usually don't due this but 360 is least reliable out of all 3 systems and thats from experience yes i due own a 360 i actually had 2 360s and guess what the first one i bought the employee at gamestop told me to that i should have it in an open space with a fan blowing on it or an intercooler because the 360s have a huge over heating problem then i went and bought my second 360 which i had for a month then all of a sudden i get a HDD error ok i went online and found out how to fix it only problem was every ounce in awhile the HDD error would pop back up then the system started over heating and load times were really slow so i went ahead and sent it in sure enough about 3 weeks went buy and i received my 360 and guess what right out the box it was broke the disk drive wouldn't open so i went ahead sent it in again but this time when i got it back sold it and got a ps3 and from what i can see the ps3 is is really quite doesn't get as hot and has quit a few extra features the 360 doesn't
